Prosthetic liners, prosthetic sockets and prosthetic suspension sleeves, as well as orthotic components, having enhanced thermally conductivity and/or enhanced heat absorption capabilities. Such components may be used in various combinations to create assemblies and systems that are operative to better transfer heat away from and/or absorb heat produced by residual or intact limbs of a user.

Disclosed herein is a system, apparatus and method directed to an expandable and conformable targeted temperature management (TTM) pad. The system, apparatus and method pertain to a medical pad for exchanging thermal energy between a TTM fluid and a patient. The pad includes an insulating layer, a fluid containing layer for containing the TTM fluid, and a patient contact surface. The fluid containing layer is configured for circulating the TTM fluid. The patient contact surface defines a first patient contact area to facilitate thermal energy exchange with the patient. One or more slits are arranged in at least the insulating layer of the pad to facilitate stretching the pad and conforming to a contour of a patient's anatomy. The stretching can expand the patient contact surface to a larger second patient contact area. The pad can further include a flexible fabric cover.

A thermal eye pod assembly for use in efficiently heating and/or cooling a plurality of thermal eye patch members, as desired. A portable thermal eye pod assembly for use in efficiently treating a user's recurring ophthalmic conditions, accelerating a user's healing process, and providing a user with a relatively faster means of pain relief.

A cured liquid silicone rubber (“LSR”) body having an outer surface, an inner surface opposing the outer surface, a first end, a second end opposing the first end, a non-biased body length separating the first and second ends of the cured silicone body, a pre-formed pleated portion disposed circumferentially along the body length and operably configured to enable selective and elastically biased adjustment of the non-biased body length, non-pleated portions of the LSR body forming a smooth surface of the outer surface of the LSR body and flanking the pleated portion, forming a sleeve shape with at least one enclosed opening and a sleeve channel for receiving a user's limb and defined by the inner surface of the LSR body, and defining a plurality of perforations thereon, disposed on the non-pleated portions of the LSR body that span through the LSR body.

Provided is a foot fomentation apparatus for feet of a user which includes: a soleplate which supports the soles; a cover which is combined with the soleplate from above for wrapping up feet; a warming and heating device which has a warming and heating structure in the soleplate and the cover as well or in the soleplate only; and a control unit which is installed in order to store heat energy in the warming and heating structure of the warming and heating device according to pre-established conditions. The present disclosure provides the apparatus of a heat-accumulative type, wherein no influence of electromagnetic waves exists and tension while relaxation coexist, in order to exuberantly promote energy and blood circulation to reduce fatigue and help preventing serious diseases by continuously inducing energy and blood circulation action in a human body, converting a half-healthy constitution into a healthy constitution, considerably improving work concentration with proper stimuli which incur no distraction when a user performs another work in experiencing the fomentation, pleasantly maintaining biorhythms and exuberantly maintaining streams of energy and blood along the twelve meridian points.

Disclosed is an applicator device for an apparatus used in a localized cryotherapy treatment. The applicator device is configured, when positioned over a body area to be treated, to receive and to uniformly distribute across the entire area covered thereby a stream of medium, such as air, adjusted to a temperature equal to or above −40 degrees Celsius (° C.) and directed, at a predetermined speed, via the applicator to the area to be treated, whereby a cold-induced thermal shock response is developed in skin and an underlying tissue within the area covered by the applicator. Related apparatus and a method are further provided.

A thermal pack including: a pouch containing a thermal source; and a bendable and deformable support one of attached to or disposed within the pouch, the support being configured such that the pouch is deformed into a shape matching a contour of a body part and the pouch is maintained in the shape while applied to the body part by the support. The support can include one or more deformable elongated members extending in at least one direction of the pouch.

A temperature regulating socket apparatus for selectively heating or cooling a residual limb of an amputee is provided. The temperature regulating socket apparatus includes a socket having a brim, a distal end and a continuous side wall, all defining an open interior area for receiving the residual limb therein and a temperature regulating apparatus. The temperature regulating apparatus includes a thermal adjustment element embedded within the socket side wall; a temperature control unit operatively coupled to the thermal adjustment element; and a power supply operatively coupled to the temperature control unit. When the power supply is in its ON orientation the temperature control unit is powered so that the temperature control unit regulates the temperature of the thermal adjustment element to selectively heat or cool the residual limb within the socket.

The present invention relates to a therapeutic device capable of alternatingly outputting a low-frequency wave or an ultrasonic wave and heat, and more particularly, the present invention includes: a heat output unit; and a low-frequency wave output unit which generates a low-frequency wave that is outputted alternatingly with heat outputted by the heat output unit, or includes: a heat output unit; and an ultrasonic wave output unit which generates an ultrasonic wave that is outputted alternatingly with heat outputted by the heat output unit. The present invention provides the therapeutic device capable of alternatingly outputting the low-frequency wave or the ultrasonic wave and the heat, which has the low-frequency wave output unit, the ultrasonic wave output unit, or the low-frequency wave output unit and the ultrasonic wave output unit, and the heat output unit, and maintains a temperature without problems by alternatingly outputting the low-frequency wave or the ultrasonic wave and the heat which are outputted by the output units, respectively, thereby improving user satisfaction.
